Pathologist (MD) |
Overview: | Pathologists study the cause and development of human diseases and the impact on the patient. They make diagnoses fom samples of body tissues, blood, and secretions. They act as consultants to physicians and perform autopsies on dead persons to determine the immediate cause of death. |
Duties: | They conduct laboratory tests on tissues and fluids from diseased patients to determine the causes of death and the time and paths taken by diseases, infection, etc. They trace the progress of a disease in order to determine how a disease can be combatted by physicians in its earliest stages. They recommend diagnostic methods for early disease protection. They assess and compare the therapeutic value of different medical treatments used to remedy, arrest or cure a disease. They recommend how these treatments are best used. Perform monitoring studies of patients recovering from diseases to detect symptoms suggesting re-occurrence and they advise what treatments to administer based on samples of tissues and fluids. |
Degree(s): | A.S. Health Sciences A.S. Liberal Arts and Sciences (Mathematics and Science) |
Job Outlook: | Employment of pathologists is expected to grow faster than average through 2018 driven by neurological disorders of the aging and the increasing survival rate of premature infants and trauma and stroke victims. Greater awareness of the importance of early identification and diagnosis of speech and language disorders in young children will increase employment. Best opportunities are for those who are bilingual and willing to relocate to rural areas. |
Salary Range (National Average): | $115,000 to $130,000 |
Growth: | |
Education Level: | This occupation generally requires an advanced degree (e.g. Ph.D.). The typical commitment is a minimum of 3 years of study beyond a Bachelor's or Master's Degree. |
Additional Training/Education: | All states require pathologists to be licensed. Licensing involves graduation from a medical school (usually 4 years), passing an examination and up to 7 years of a "residency" graduate medical training in pathology. The minimum educational requirement for acceptance to most medical schools is three years of college study. |

To me, a pit bull or rottweiler says a lot about the character of its' owner. I've never encountered anyone who owned those breeds of dog, who didn't seem to have a fairly similar personality and level of intelligence themselves.

Hmmm, mixed message here. They ARE ferocious looking, but that doesn't imply they are. I just don't see them as pretty.
What I did notice was that a few years back (ten to fifteen years ago) there was a string of pitbull attacks reported on the news, and then PITBULL BOOM, everybody started getting them.
So, what made you decide on getting a pitbull instead of, say, an Irish Setter?

Rarely do I read papers whose title really sums up exactly what is so cool about the study in a succinct way, free of jargon. I think that "First Investigation of the Microbiology of the Deepest Layer of Ocean Crust" does just that. It isn't trying to be sexy… it just is!
Examining the microbial communities in the so-called "deep subsurface biosphere" is a relatively new field. Until recently people didn't think there was much, or really any, life deep in Earth's crust. As with many scientific assumptions made before scientists had the opportunity to actually study a new environment… these were clearly wrong!
If you will allow a slight non-microbial tangent… in the mid 19th century Edward Forbes noticed that organisms appeared to become "impoverished" with depth. This led him to postulate the notorious Azoic Theory that there was an ocean depth (300 fathoms or about 550 meters) below which, no life was possible. This hypothesis was logical given what was known at the time about ecological zonation and the deep sea, but has since been disproven time and time again. But I digress…
Often, initial studies of microbial diversity in previously uncharacterized environments discover, roughly, who is present. This is, of course, useful information, but it is limited since more than 99% of all microbes have not been grown in the lab (and we therefore know virtually nothing about them). This means that simply documenting which microbes are present in a new environment doesn't explain much about what is happing in these ecosystems. The study I am writing about today goes a step farther and also looks at what metabolic genes are present. Metabolic genes are genes that code for proteins that are involved in specific chemical reactions that are part of specific metabolic pathways. One example (found in these samples) is mmo. mmo is the code for methane monooxygenase, which is an enzyme that breaks the carbon-hydrogen bond in methane, allowing it to be oxidized (forming carbon dioxide). This type of information allows insights about what the microbial community might be doing. I say might because the presence of a gene doesn't, necessarily, mean that it is active, but that is a story for another day.
Oceanic crust covers about 70% of Earth's surface, and most of it is made of a relatively low silica rock, black called Basalt. For this study basalt samples were collected from below the Atlantis Massif at depths up to almost 1400 meters below the sea floor (mbsf) on an Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) cruise. At their deepest sample (1392 mbsf) the temperature was 102°C, which is approaching the known upper limit to life (currently accepted as around 122°C). This temperature is simply due to the heat conduction from Earth's core. One of the reasons this type of study has not been completed until now is the technical difficulties associated with drilling this deep into the crust. This type of drilling is technically similar to the drilling done for offshore oil, but is done at a much smaller scale and therefore has many fewer environmental consequences.
The study concluded that these rock samples were fairly low in bacterial diversity (compared with previous analyses of shallower rocks of the same type from other areas), and very little evidence of Archaea. Diversity was correlated with how much "alteration" the rock had undergone. Rock alteration is a geologic term that refers to changes in rock composition due to heat, pressure, and other chemical processes. More altered samples tended to have higher diversity, implying that something about the alteration process opens up new niches for microbial colonization.
The study reached some interesting conclusion about the types of microbes that were present. They found that many seemed to be more closely related to hydrocarbon degrading microbes (know from non-crustal environments) than they were to other microbes known from similar crustal rock. This may offer insight into unanswered questions about how widespread these organisms are, and the extent to which the crustal reservoir interacts with the overlying ocean waters.
To further support this, genes know to be involved in hydrocarbon degradation were found in these rock samples. Genes involved in aerobic methane oxidation as well as methane production (interestingly in roughly equal frequencies… possibly implying that these processes are coupled; one type of microbe producing methane, and another type breaking it down). The carbon fixation genes might also tie in here, because methane is broken down into carbon dioxide, which is then converted into organic materian during carbon fixation. Carbon fixation is an autotrophic process is typically thought of in terms of photosynthesis, but in the deep sea it is not photosynthesis, but chemosynthesis (specifically chemolithoautotrophy – this just means they make their own food from an inorganic carbon source, without light, and without releasing oxygen) that is responsible for the conversion of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) into sugars (which later become food for other deep sea organisms that can't make their own food).
These processes are particularly interesting to me because the role of the deep sea in the global carbon cycle is unknown, and knowing the extent and rates of processes like this would help us to better understand what impact the deep sea has on this cycle (how big of a carbon sink is it, for example).
Finally aerobic toluene oxidation genes were also found in some of the samples. With the diversity and phylogenetic analyses, the presence of toluene and methane oxidation genes implies that hydrocarbon oxidation is occurring in the deep subsurface. Genes involved in carbon fixation were also found.
While this study is a very early look into this environment, it is one of the first steps into trying to understand the role that crustal communities play in global biogeochemical cycles. Because this environment represents an immense volume it is important that we better understand the virtually unknown microbial communities present there. The authors also point out that given the recent discovery of methane being produced on Mars and the fact that it is unknown whether or not that is biological in origin, the subsurface environment on Earth may be an important analog site.
The authors (one of whom I got to meet at a recent conference) conclude with the following:
Our results raise the intriguing possibility that hydrocarbons in very deep ocean rocks support microbial communities. Additionally, we show that the genetic potential for novel metabolic processes, such as carbon and nitrogen fixation, is present within an unexplored layer of ocean crust. Our findings, particularly regarding the presence of genes coding for methane cycling, have implications not only for Earth's subsurface, but also for other planets such as Mars. Methane on Mars is concentrated in some equatorial regions of the atmosphere, which suggests that it is derived from localized geological sources. Although the exact mechanism by which methane forms on Mars is not known, serpentinization reactions in the Martian subsurface have recently been proposed. Therefore, similar to the Atlantis Massif, the Martian subsurface may harbor methane-consuming prokaryotes. Future efforts should be directed towards quantifying the role endolithic prokaryotes play in methane cycling and in determining the sources of methane, and other hydrocarbons in marine crust. These findings will undoubtedly focus attention on obtaining more information on the geochemistry of formation fluids from deep ocean rocks, which are technically challenging to acquire requiring different sampling technologies than those used in the design of this exploratory study.

[solved] MDI + Winforms + GLControl
Posted Friday, 26 November, 2010 - 23:58 by dairymilk1980 inHello there.
I am using opentk to render into each of the child windows. The problem I seem to be having is that the windows don't seem to be refreshing/repainting. Each child form contains a new instance of GLControl and I am setting MakeCurrent everytime the pain function gets called.
BTW I am creating these child forms on the fly so every child form invokes the same paint function.
What I see is that the windows will repaint only when I minimise the whole window or maximise the child forms. BTW this is the same behaviour even with setting the window title.
{ if (!is_loaded) // Play nice return; gl_control.MakeCurrent(); GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit); GL.MatrixMode(MatrixMode.Modelview); GL.LoadIdentity(); GL.Translate(0, 0, 0); if (gl_control.Focused) { GL.Color3(Color.Yellow); parent.Text = "Focus"; } else { GL.Color3(Color.Blue); parent.Text = "Out of focus"; } // GL.Rotate(rotation, Vector3.UnitZ); // OpenTK has this nice Vector3 class! GL.Begin(BeginMode.Triangles); GL.Vertex2(50, 100); GL.Vertex2(100, 100); GL.Vertex2(100, 500); GL.End(); gl_control.SwapBuffers(); }

IP multicast is an efficient and scalable network layer delivering method for multimedia content to a large number of receivers across the Internet. It saves the network bandwidth and optimizes the processing overhead of the source. However, current IP multicast deployment is still facing many deployment complexities. In particular, the duality and the strong relationship between multicast addressing and routing along with the absence of an integrated multicast access control security mechanism have prevented a broader deployment of multicasting over large and public network infrastructures such as the Internet. To solve multicast scoping and autonomic multicast routing triggering issues, we propose a new scope based and hierarchical multicast control and routing protocol . Our approach introduces a new multicast addressing scheme that embeds simultaneously a plurality of hierarchical scopes and associates each scope with a specific access control and routing method. We evaluate the performance of our solution with respect to access control overhead and we analyse its strengths and limitations compared to related works.

Though the tape contains anal and facial cumshots, it could be successfully pushed to harder-minded couples due to its technical quality.
A sort of Andrew Blake-ish tape that looks like couples fare, but comes off harder. An assortment of atmospherically-lit fantasy segments, some with fetish wear; overall, the tape looks great. Occasionally, the music overshadows the sounds of the performers, but that's a minor quibble. Great camera work and editing. The sex is vigorous and enthusiastic, the most raucous probably being the concluding d.p. threeway.

Chris Bosh has taken his name out of consideration for the London Olympics, becoming the second Miami Heat player in as many days to make the move over injury concerns.
Bosh announced the decision Friday through agent Henry Thomas. Bosh is still recovering after straining an abdominal muscle during the second round of the playoffs. He missed nine games, though did return for the latter part of the Eastern Conference finals against Boston and played in all five games of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City.
Heat guard Dwyane Wade pulled out of the Olympic mix on Thursday because he needs surgery on his left knee.

Students Who Use Facebook Get Lower Grades, Study Shows
Filed under: In The News, Research Reveals: Teens
Newsflash: Facebook may be making us dumber.
London's Daily Mail reports that a team of psychologists studied 219 university students between the ages of 19 and 54, and found that those who use Facebook while they study -- or even have it running in the background -- get grades that are 20 percent lower than those who do not.
"The problem is that most people have Facebook or other social networking sites, their e-mails and maybe instant messaging constantly running in the background while they are carrying out other tasks," Paul Kirschner, study author and professor at the Center for Learning Sciences and Technologies at the Open University of The Netherlands, tells the newspaper.
The students who used Facebook had grade point averages of 3.06, which doesn't seem too bad when the scale goes from 0.0 to 4.0. However, those who turned off the social media network when it came time to hit the books had a typical GPA of 3.82. In addition, non-users also said they studied more often -- spending an average of 88 percent more time working outside of class.
Some students are in denial about the findings. Three-quarters of those surveyed said they don't believe Facebook had any effect on their performance.
Kirschner is quick to point out that he isn't trying to demonize any one social media network, but that the study does suggest that multi-tasking online isn't an effective study strategy.
"Our study, and other previous work, suggests that while people may think constant task-switching allows them to get more done in less time, the reality is it extends the amount of time needed to carry out tasks and leads to more mistakes," he tells the Daily Mail.
Kirschner also tells the newspaper he doesn't think this trend is limited to college students. He says he would expect similar results among younger pupils, as well.

Anna said...It all depends on the student. While in college I would use facebook, but I still got the highest grades in my classes.
Terry said...Boy......THIS is going to be an unpopular article. Doesn't make it any less true, though.....
Lauren said...I'm pretty sure that a few months ago parentdish posted an article of a study that states using facebook did not affect kids grades. That study only used 219 students which does not cover a very large sample of the college population. It's the kid or adult that chooses to let themseves get distracted by going online or doing other things while attempting to study or do homework.
jycfrnkl said...I'm a school counselor and from what I've seen the kids who gravitate to face book( and get overly involved) are kind of "low average" to begin with. They don't have a whole lot going on for them upstairs so they focus on partying, gossip, and facebook to "look cool." It's like a study that shows that people who watch the Simpsons are dumb. No....dumb people watch the Simpsons.
Alicia said...For a school counselor, you're kind of an a$$. But that's what I've come to expect from most high school counselors. They're young or incompetent, and the young ones who do well quickly end up working in colleges. Most students I know use facebook. In fact, all my friends and I are A students in college,were honors students in high school and have never been big into partying. However, it was a great way of organizing weekly meetings for our literary club (that ranged across all grades and ran all summer) and now that we're scattered throughout the northeast at college, it's a great way to keep in touch. I suspect stupid applications, poor discipline and a lack of teachers able to make their subject interesting and worthwhile are the real problem.
Paula said...A counselor, huh? Then you should know better than to say such unsubstantiated things. Just because a student uses Facebook doesn't mean that they "don't have a lot going on upstairs" or that they don't have a social life. Grades may fall because of the chance that they are on Facebook as opposed to studying or doing homework. Stupid people watch The Simpsons? Where are you getting your data from?
Heather said...I hardly find that 219 students surveyed is really a a good amount for a group. I have a 4.0 GPA and have been on the Dean's List for 3 years running; while having Facebook open many times whilst doing homework, studying for tests, class, etc. I find this to be very blanketed statistics in consideration.
Amy said...I'm 25. I was an online college student. I used to do tons of other things on my computer in between studying. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA on May 8, 2010. I'm not saying I'm typical, but social networking didn't mess up my grades.
Of course, I'm old enough that I wasn't a young child when people started getting the Internet in their homes. I think it has more to do with the fact that kids under 20 have grown up in a world that is completely inundated with info, and they haven't learned to concentrate and study.
Sally said...I have many doubts about this study. Most importantly, it seems from the article as if there were two groups of subjects: one group did not use Facebook in their daily lives while the other group did. The two groups cannot be compared unless each subject was randomly assigned to a group and told either to have Facebook open (experimental group) or to not have it open (control group). Otherwise, these findings break a fundamental rule of statistics: correlation does NOT prove causation. In other words, the fact that Facebook users have lower grades does not mean that Facebook causes lower grades.
honda583 said...I dont believe this at all.. I graduated with good grades and I used Facebook all the time!.. Maybe people just dont know how to multi-task or manage their time
Ana Lisette said...I have found this to be true. Last year when I was in 9th grade, I found that if I was using Facebook during the week, my grades were a lot lower. It was such a distraction. Now this year, my mom has limited me to the internet only on the weekends and I'm getting a lot better grades than I was last year.
Jessica said...Not to brag or anything but I'm constantly on Facebook while doing school work and studying and I'm on Dean's List. Studies are generally biased and results can be tweaked to make a case for the study.
John said...Using a GPA scale is a horribly flawed methodology because the difficulty of the classes ranges widely.
Most people can procrastinate and even multi-task then and pull out a B on a term paper.
Try doing that before a calculus or chemistry final and you will fail horribly on the final.
And scoring a 26% on a test that is worth 40% of your grade will totally obliterate your average.
A study on high school kids would be much more accurate, where the subject difficulty is much tighter amongst the various segments of the school population.
Anonymous said...I can't say I'm surprised. Only a small percent of people can handle multitasking.
Eric said...Wait, a different study said the opposite just a few months ago!
Google this, since i cant put links on here:
"Facebook Has No Effect On College Grades, Study Finds"
RJ said...T.v on while studying was an issue, listening to music while studying was an issue now this you will always have those who's study habits work for them and who are more diligent in their studies and others who take it less seriously. My question would be what were the students individual averages before social networking have they plummeted? If they are smart which i would hope so if they are going to college they would clue in to their study habits and make the necessary adjustments to pull up their grade.
Joe said...The study might be flawed - cause/effect. Maybe it's not Facebook that makes students dumb. It is dumb students who spend too much time on facebook!

The History of Traditional AWOS Systems
The original 1970's AWOS siting requirements were developed by the National Weather Service to provide homogeneous settings for their scientific measurement equipment; to gather comparable sensor data at locations across the USA for national meteorological modeling. The idea was for six knots of wind at location 'A' to be weighted equivalent to six knots of wind at location 'B.' To implement this nationwide program NWS needed as many similar sensor location as possible across the USA.
FAA had set flight requirements for 'approved weather' for commercial flight operations, but was no longer able to support the army of human weather observers necessary to meet these requirements, even at the relatively small number of commercial airports.
To solve their mutual dilemmas, NWS and FAA decided to put NWS systems at airports, in one stroke giving NWS lots of similar locations, and providing approved weather for commercial flight operations where human observers were no longer supportable. In comparison to each human weather observer costing over $150,000, those $250,000 NWS ASOS systems were a bargain!
And so AWOS/ASOS came to a few large airports, at considerable financial cost...
History of AWOS Siting Requirements For NWS, the optimal scientific platform has its wind sensor atop a 30 foot rigid mast, and requires a bunch of rigid structures mounted to elaborate rigid footings on the surface, to make the darn thing work (See photo left). One of FAA's primary missions is to protect airspace from encroachment by obstructions hazardous to flight operations; so sticking a 30 foot rigid mast into an airport's protected airspace was not acceptable. FAA therefore established siting criteria to keep these rigid structures outside of an airport's Part 77 airspace (See drawing below). For the relatively small number of large airports that were the 'first-pass' for needing automated weather, this standard was easy and made a lot of sense. |
Traditional ASOS
System |
Legacy AWOS on an oil platform in the Gulf - Part of FAA NextGen Notice the wind sensor is NOT on a 30 foot mast |
Traditional Siting Criteria - Protecting Airspace from a 30+ Foot Rigid Mast
for the greater number of smaller airports that also need
automated weather for flight-safety, but have neither spare land nor open space
available. Traditional siting constraints designed for large airports
would inadvertently
preclude these airports from having any form of Automated Weather
(See below). If
'rigidly' applied without judgment, Whoops! |
The weather information pilots need for flight safety is defined by the regulatory 'flight requirements' applicable to the kind of weather in which they are flying: |

The New Orleans Hornets bounced back from one of their most miserable efforts of the season last Saturday by beating the Phoenix Suns, 93-84, Wednesday night at New Orleans Arena.
The Hornets, humiliated 115-86 by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the last of a five-game road trip on Saturday, took control of the game with a 13-2 run over a five-minute span late in the fourth quarter spurred by a 3-point basket by Ryan Anderson with 5:19 to go in the game.New Orleans was led by guard Greivis Vasquez who had 19 points and 12 assists, while Anderson had 14 points and small forward Al-Farouq Aminu 16, including a key bucket with 1:24 to go in the game, just beating the 24-second clock, that put the Hornets ahead, 93-80.
Aminu was 7 of 9 from the field on the night and added 11 rebounds. Vasquez was 8 of 9 from the outside. Five Phoenix players scored in double figures, led by Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley who each had 14.
The Hornets begin a three-game road trip Friday night in Atlanta against the Hawks.

Despite my affection for Bewitched, I'm not dismayed that Sony Pictures has made my favorite TV show into a film. I don't really care. I was pleased to read that scriptwriters Nora and Delia Ephron have resisted the temptation to simply rehash the show's pilot (which is generally what happens with these sitcom-to-big-screen movies), but, in order to entertain a Bewitched spaz like me, the Ephrons would have had to make a movie no one else wants to see. They'd have had to cast 19 different Bettys. I'm guessing Betty doesn't even appear in the Bewitched movie.
In order for me to really enjoy a Bewitched movie, now-middle-aged twins Erin and Diane Murphy, the third and final set of twins to share the part in the original series, would have to reprise their role as the Stephens' wacky daughter, Tabitha. In fact, I would only be satisfied if the Murphy gals played Tabitha simultaneously, reciting their lines in unison. The film people would have to build an animatronic Paul Lynde to reprise the role of swishy Uncle Arthur, and somehow convince Nicole Kidman to also play Serena, Samantha's hookah-smoking, orgy-attending hippie cousin. They'd have to hire 100-year-old Charles Lane to reprise any of the eight roles he played in the series, or at least to have Will Ferrell's Darrin disappear halfway through the film, to be replaced by, say, Jim Carrey -- with absolutely no explanation as to why one of the principals was suddenly a different guy.
Of course none of this is going to happen. In the new film, the Stephens will eat off the wrong dishes (in the series, their dinnerware was a Harker pattern called Springtime); they'll live somewhere other than 1164 Morning Glory Circle in Westport, Connecticut; the set designer will have hung a mirror in the Stephens' entry hall, rather than the print of Rembrandt's Girl With a Broom that's supposed to be there. I'm sure that Nicole Kidman will make a lovely Samantha, and that the digitally enhanced nose-wiggling and special effects will be magnificent. But I think I'll skip the Ephrons' Bewitched. Without all the inconsistencies, the sexy subtext, the five different actors who played Aunt Hagatha, it just won't be the same. I prefer my sitcom witches to be deeply flawed, my junky television to reside on the small screen. I think I'll stay home and watch my newly colorized Bewitched: Season One DVDs instead. Who knows? Maybe I'll find a new Betty.

Etiologies of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in children in middle Taiwan. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20687204 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM), while rare, is probably underestimated in children. Treatment targets on the underlying disease and trigger factors. The study aimed in analysis different etiology in different age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Total 37 children with SPM were analyzed from two medical centers in middle Taiwan from 1994 to 2007. RESULTS: Incidence of SPM in children was 1:11,726 patients at Department of Pediatric Emergency in middle Taiwan. Bimodal peak in incidence occurred in those under 7 and in those aged 15-18 years old. The Characteristic symptoms were dyspnea (64.9%), followed by chest pain (62.2%) and neck pain (40.5%); common specific physical signs were subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) (67.6%) and Hammer's sign (13.5%). Trigger factors were infection (43.2%), asthma (21.0%), esophageal rupture (5.4%), foreign body aspiration (2.7%), and diabetic ketoacidosis (2.7%). Idiopathic SPM accounted for 35.1% of patients with mean age 14.1 years. In age distribution, preschoolers (<7 years old) got SPM mostly due to lower respiratory tract infection. In adolescents, the most common etiologies were asthma and upper respiratory tract infection. Mean hospitalization was 6.4 days. Although 17 (46.0%) patients needed intensive care, nearly all had complete resolution in chest radiography before discharge. CONCLUSION: Clinician should keep alert to incidence of SPM from these symptoms. Etiologies varied with age and treatment must target on factors and underlying disease. |

Moderate Religious Liberty in the Theology of John CalvinJohn Witte Jr.Emory University School of Law 1996 Calvin Theological Journal, Vol. 31, pp. 359-403, 1996 Abstract: Some scholars portray John Calvin as a champion of religious liberty and human rights. Others view him as a rigid and brutal theocrat. This article shows that neither interpretation does justice to Calvin's complex and evolving views of spiritual and political liberty. In his early writings, Calvin distinguished sharply between the spiritual and political liberty of individuals, and showed how these two concepts of liberty operated in the heavenly and earthly kingdoms respectively. In his later writings, Calvin worked to harmonize spiritual and temporal life and liberty, and to balance the religious liberty of the individual with the corporate needs of church, state, and society. This resulted in a much more nuanced understanding of liberty and authority, rights and duties, church and state, that Calvin worked out in both theological and jurisprudential terms. Many of his formulations proved axiomatic for the Western tradition, and anticipated understandings of rights and liberties that are still pertinent today.

Rihard Scores Six Goals; Lacrosse Downs St. Vincent 17-12
FSU earned it's first win of the season (1-4) tallying a season high in goals, while St. Vincent (2-1) ended a two-game winning streak.
Along with Rihard, junior Lindsay Lamont (Sykesville, Md./Century) had an impressive game for the Bobcats, recording four goals on five shots and dishing out one assist.
The Lady Bearcats were led by Lauren Eller with five goals, followed by Laura Fedor with three goals and one assist.
FSU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead just 48 seconds into the game, getting goals from freshman Elisabeth Hildebrand (Frederick, Md./Walkersville) and Lamont. Rihard was credited with both assists.
St. Vincent answered with two goals of their own, tying the game at 25:53. The two teams then exchanged goals when Lamont scored for the Bobcats and Fedor for the Lady Bearcats.
Rihard tallied her first two goals of the afternoon at the 22:11 and 20:10 mark, putting Frostburg State up 5-3. Over the remaining 20 minutes of the first half, FSU would score six of 10 goals, for an 11-7 lead at the break.
The Bobcats lit up the scoreboard early in the second half, when Rihard netted a goal 48 seconds into the period, off and assist from sophomore Meredith Martin (Fairfax, Va./WT Woodson).
St. Vincent answered on a Meredith Ruffing goal at 26:42, but off the ensuing draw, Rihard scored two seconds later, extending the FSU lead to 13-8.
The Lady Bearcats faught for a comeback, scoring three unanswered goals from 23:54 to 13:25 in the second half, bringing the score to 14-11.
The Bobcats answered with a three goal run of their own, getting scores from Hildebrand, Lamont, and junior Maria Schrum (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake).
Eller would net a goal for the Lady Bearcats with 2:02 remaining, but then Rihard capped her afternoon with her sixth goal of the game with just 24 seconds left.
Senior Rachel Lewis (Laurel, Md./Wilde Lake) got the start in net for the Bobcats, earning her first win of the season and recording eight saves.
FSU returns to action April 1 at 5:00 pm when it takes on Marymount at Bobcat Stadium.

Graced by David McCullough's remarkable gift for writing richly textured, sympathetic social history, The Johnstown Flood is an absorbing, classic portrait of life in nineteenth-century America, of overweening confidence, of energy, and of tragedy. It also offers a powerful historical lesson for our century and all times: the danger of assuming that because people are in positions of responsibility they are necessarily behaving responsibly.

Australia is keeping up with technology trends as a new report finds that one in five Australians will own wearable technology in 2014. The same study also found Apple as the top player in the growing Aussie smart phone market.
Wearable technology is seen as the next phase in personal gadgets with Google, Apple, Samsung and Microsoft hoping to release the next-generation product that will combine functionality and fashion that will change people's lives.
Google Glass, Google's breakthrough wearable tech made to look like a modern version of eyewear, has been released to a select group of testers in the early months of 2013. Google Inc has not yet announced a market launch of its high-technology eyewear that contains a camera and access to apps made for Google Glass.
Samsung has jumped on the wearable tech bandwagon with the release of its Galaxy Gear smart watch in Sept.2013. Apple Inc was widely rumoured to release the iWatch as its entry to the wearable tech industry.
Previous records have shown that Australia has a high early adoption rate of new technology. A new study has found that 10 per cent of Australians will own wearable tech by Feb 2014. The study also suggests the rate to increase to 22 per cent by Sept 2014.
The key findings were part of the Australian Mobile Phone Lifestyle Index (AMPLI) report, now on its ninth year, which was released on Oct 29 in Sydney.
The same report revealed that 56 per cent of Aussies have their own tablet which is higher than 2012's figure at 38 per cent. The AMPLI report also revealed that 88 per cent of Australians have smart phones.
Marketing firm IPSOS published a different study in July which found smart phone penetration in Australia was at 64.6 per cent. The figure was higher than most developed countries like France, Germany, UK and the U.S.
Australians were found eager to buy the latest gadgets despite tech products being priced higher compared to other countries. This was also confirmed by a research study and a report from a federal parliamentary inquiry.
In the same report, Apple remains at the top of the local mobile market with 45 per cent of Australians revealed they have an iPhone compared to 28 per cent who said they own a Samsung device. Only 9 per own a Nokia smart phone.

Measuring Central Tendency
This Discussion will give you the opportunity to calculate or identify the three measures of central tendency. Select an appropriate real life situation where one measure would be more appropriate than the other two measures of center.
a. Select a common topic or hypothesis and record the topic in your posting, for example: "What is the average number of hours you watch TV every week?" You may use one of your Week Four hypotheses.
b. Sample at least 15 people and record their data in a simple table or chart;
c. You can gather your data at work, on the phone, or via some other method. This is your "Sampling Design." Which of the four sampling techniques best describes your design?
d. Explain in moderate detail the method you used to gather your data. In statistics this venture is called the "Methodology."
e. Make sure you break your sample into classes or groups, such as: males/females or ages or time of day, etc.
f. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for your data as a whole.
g. Now calculate the mean, median, and mode of each of your classes or groups.
h. Indicate which measure of central tendency BEST describes your data and WHY.
i. Now compare your results in part h for each class or group, and point out any interesting results or unusual outcomes between the classes or groups. This is called a "comparative analysis" - using our results to explain interesting outcomes or differences (for example, between men and women).

Default a 'Black Turkey' as Advisers Tell Investors Not To Sell
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- As nerve-racking as he finds the debt-ceiling negotiations, Chris Rainbolt, 36, hasn't shifted his portfolio in anticipation of a possible U.S. government default.
"It's kind of like you're standing on a cliff, and as long as you don't fall off the cliff you're fine," said Rainbolt, who lives in Dallas and works in real estate. "If you do fall off the cliff, it doesn't matter what you do."
Rainbolt is among investors whose financial advisers are telling them not to sell their stocks or bonds as time runs out for Congress to pass a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has said the U.S. will exhaust options for paying all of its bills on Aug. 2.
"There's really just not a whole lot that you can do," said Paul Jacobs, who's a financial planner based in Atlanta for Palisades Hudson Financial Group, which manages more than $1 billion and whose clients have an average of about $20 million in assets. "You can't just put it all in a money-market fund, because then if there is a nightmare scenario there's really nowhere to hide."
Al Vazquez said he's been holding more cash in his clients' accounts than he normally would, in anticipation of the debt-ceiling debate coming to a head.
'Black Turkey'
"I think there's a 99 percent chance it will be satisfactorily resolved," said Vazquez, an adviser with LPL Financial in Gig Harbor, Washington. "There is a potential for a black swan, or maybe in this case a black turkey." A black swan is a difficult-to-predict event with wide-reaching implications.
The U.S. Treasury Department has said Congress must act by Aug. 2 to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling or risk default. If lawmakers miss that deadline, the government won't have money to pay monthly Social Security checks, veterans' benefits and contracts with businesses, President Barack Obama said in a televised address on July 25. Interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and car loans would skyrocket, Obama said.
It may be too late for investors to take defensive steps because the time to do so is before a crisis, and because the effects of a U.S. default or downgrade on different investments is difficult to predict, said Robert Arnott, chairman of Newport Beach, California-based Research Affiliates LLC, which oversees more than $80 billion.
"We're entering unknown territory," Arnott said.
Risk Tolerance
Moody's Investors Service placed the U.S. under review for a credit-rating downgrade earlier this month. On July 14 Standard & Poor's put the nation's rating on "CreditWatch," saying there's a 50 percent chance it will lower the U.S. credit rating within the next three months.
Talking to clients who are concerned about the debt-ceiling debate can be an opportunity to reassess their risk tolerance, said Jane King, president of Fairfield Financial Advisors, which manages $120 million for about 100 clients.
"If we're at the right level of risk, stay put," King said.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined the most in almost two months yesterday as a stalemate over the debt ceiling pushed the U.S. closer to default. The dispute over plans to cut the federal deficit has stolen investor attention away from an earnings season that has produced higher-than-estimated results at about 77 percent of S&P 500 companies that have reported so far.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, or VIX, rose 14 percent yesterday to 22.98, the highest in four months. The index measures the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the S&P 500.
Investor Withdrawals
Investors withdrew about $6.8 billion from stock funds in the week ending July 20, the most in five weeks, according to the Washington-based Investment Company Institute, a fund-industry trade group. Money-market funds held by retail investors increased $3.5 billion that week as funds held by institutions decreased $28 billion. Money-market funds hold about $684 billion in U.S. sovereign debt and must generally hold highly rated short-term securities, according to ICI.
"We're sticking to our mantra of hanging in there and not getting caught up in the noise of what's going on," said Jay Higgins, a client relationship manager at Minneapolis-based Riverbridge Partners, which has about $3 billion in assets under management.
One client wanted to move all of his investments into cash until a deal on the debt ceiling is in place, and Higgins persuaded the client not to, he said.
Buying Opportunity
The threat of a U.S. downgrade heightens the need for municipal-bond investors to diversify among states, said Richard Saperstein, managing director of Treasury Partners, a division of Chicago-based HighTower Advisors.
A lowering of the U.S. credit rating could lead to a downgrade of other securities such as municipal issuers and government agencies, Saperstein said.
"Downgrade or default might be a short-term buying opportunity because the markets are spooked by what's coming," Research Affiliates' Arnott said.
Investors should consider increasing their allocations to commodities, inflation-linked bonds and emerging-markets stocks and bonds, Arnott said.
Debra Taylor said she's increased clients' allocations this year to precious metals and to certain currencies, including the Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc. Taylor, an adviser in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, has not made any major moves in anticipation of the Aug. 2 deadline, except when clients have made specific requests.
Defensive Moves
"I don't know, at this point, what we could do," she said. Selling stocks "would be akin to panic selling, and when they pulled it together there would be a relief rally and our clients would miss out on that."
Some advisers have made defensive moves. David Carter has increased his typical client's allocation to alternative investments such as merger-arbitrage and managed-futures strategies to about 20 percent from about 10 percent during the last month. Those investments may perform better than conventional stocks and bonds in a volatile or falling market, said Carter, who oversees about $1.5 billion as chief investment officer of New York-based Lenox Advisors.
"It seems a bit cavalier to just assume a solution will be found, because the stakes are so high," Carter said.

"We've got some names for it," he says conspiratorially, leaning into the table so that, presumably, the waitstaff or the couple four tables over can't steal his ideas. "Here's the first name. Tell me what you think," he says, pausing for effect, smirking, eyes wide. "The Idle Rich."
We need hear no others. "The Idle Rich" rolls off the tongue; that is to say it is lyrical. It is multilayered, in that it not only suggests the leisure class but also, to the Irish, can mean a beggar (all classes welcome, in other words). It can be easily shortened: We decide regulars will dub it "the Idle."
Most important, though, is the name's history and connection with Dallas. The original Idle Rich Bar operated out of a gorgeous, Moorish building near Farmers Market downtown. It was a longtime hangout for cops, cop reporters and other working-class men and women. It closed in 1996, when, says the building's owner, the clientele was nothing but a few drunken cops who, once overserved, would empty their revolvers into the moose head above the bar. What remains are an architectural firm and an oil-on-wood painting called "The Detectives," which shows six men and one woman posing at the Idle bar.
McKinney takes another drink. "Besides that," he says in his Irish lilt, "it's a pretty damn good name."
Now, several months later, The Idle Rich has opened on McKinney Avenue. On the side of the building, it says simply, "The Idle." --Eric Celeste

Gordon Grant is most famous for his maritime drawings and paintings. He was born in 1875 in San Francisco and was sent to school in Scotland as a youth. The voyage by sailing vessel around the southern tip of South America and then across the Atlantic made a tremendous impression on the young Grant and started a lasting fascination with the sea and sailing ships. He studied art in London and returned to San Francisco to work on both the San Francisco Chronicle and the Examiner. This was the period of the artist/reporter with on-the-spot drawings being made on battlefields and warfronts. The Boer War and the Mexican Revolution were both grist for his artistic mill and his images appeared also in Harper's Weekly in New York. His fame as a painter of ships was greatly enhanced in 1926 when prints of his painting of the U.S. Constitution were sold by the thousands to help raise money for the preservation of that historic vessel. It was destined for a fate as a target for Naval trainees when Grant, along with Eric Pape and many others, successfully lobbied Congress for restoration and designation as a National monument. His painting of the ship now hangs in the Oval Office at the White House. He later reprised his interest in the Constitution with the illustrations for Eagle of the Sea - The Story of Old Ironsides in 1949.
